Seaside Cove is a well-known surf spot on the north Oregon coast near Seaside, in the North West / Oregon North region of the USA. It’s a scenic, punchy beachbreak that can produce fun, fast waves, especially when the Pacific is delivering a solid west-northwest swell.

What it’s like

Wave type: Mostly beachbreak
Break: Can offer peaky lefts and rights
Best for: Intermediate to advanced surfers when it’s bigger; beginners only on smaller, mellow days
Wave quality: Can be very good, but conditions change quickly

Conditions

Swell exposure: Gets a decent amount of Pacific swell
Wind: Offshore winds can clean it up nicely; onshore winds can make it messy
Tide: Often best at mid to lower tide, though this can vary by swell size

Hazards

Strong currents and rips
Shifting sandbars
Can be crowded when conditions are good
Cold water year-round, so a wetsuit is usually necessary

Vibe
